Plymouth want to make more FA Cup memories at Brentford

Kevin Nancekivell says he wants Plymouth Argyle to create more FA Cup memories when his side faces Brentford on Saturday.

The Pilgrims can put their recent league difficulties to one side as they head to the Premier League club in the third round.

Nancekivell is in interim charge as the Championship's bottom side search for a new head coach to replace Wayne Rooney.

Brentford are the third top-flight side the Pilgrims have faced in the past decade, having taken Liverpool to a replay in 2017 and narrowly losing in extra time at then-European champions Chelsea in 2022.

Plymouth's best-ever finish in the competition was reaching the semi-finals in 1983-84 when they were beaten 1-0 by Graham Taylor's Watford at Villa Park.

"The FA Cup is special to everybody," Nancekivell told BBC Radio Devon.

"This football club, one of its biggest days was 1984 and the FA Cup semi final, so we want more days like that.

"We've had some good days at Arsenal, we've had some good days against Liverpool, Chelsea wasn't so long ago as well.

"So we want to build on that and we want to add Brentford to that list of achievements.

"We're under no illusions how difficult the task is going to be, but we've got no fear at the minute.

"We can go up there, we can take away the pressures of the league, enjoy ourselves and see what we can do."
